Abstract
In this paper, we present an NDN-based architecture for the dissemination of roadside information to cars. Our focus is on flooding events which are often caused by severe weather which also impacts the communication infrastructure. We compare the performance of different message forwarding strategies in VANETs (Vehicular Adhoc Networks) through simulation. In addition, we analyze how our approach compares to an infrastructure-based approach that is less resilient in the case of natural disaster. Our simulations show that the strategy that considers geographical location and velocity of the vehicle performs better compared to others, which in turn outperforms the infrastructure-based approach.
